How did you hear about Redrum-Inc?

I heard about Redrum Inc through an ex guildie of mine that transfered to your server (currently named rokugatsu i think)

Have you been in other guild(s)? Which one(s)? Why did you leave?

I have only ever been in one serious guild which i am currently still in, called Saves the day on The Maelstrom as ive had alot of input with the guild from vanilla onwards and being the guild leader for 2 years with them aswell. so i havent left them and plan to keep my shaman and paladin with them if i am accepted and transfer my priest to you guys.

Apart from "Vasilis - Hero of the unguilded", Is there a Redrum Inc member who can vouch for you?

Rokugatsu i feel can vouch for me

We raid 25 mans 19:00ST - 23:00ST - Wed, Thu, Sun, Mon and do 10 mans on offdays. How often can you play World of Warcraft (typical weekly playtime and which hours) and how well will it fit with our schedule?

All 25 Man raids you have schedualed are fine and i can do them no problem

What is your previous raiding experience?
my shaman was my raiding char pre Wotlk but in wotlk i then played as priest paladin and shaman
Pre-TBC: MC , ZG , BWL(except nef) , AQ20 , AQ40 (first couple of bosses)
TBC Patch 3.0.2:kara, gruul, maggy, SSC , TK , BT , MH (all cleared)
WotLK Normal Modes: Naxx Ulduar ToC ICC (Full clear 10 All except yogg and lk 25)
WorLK Hard Modes: Ulduar 10 , Togc 10 , ICC 10 (9/12)

The following questions will help us to find out if you are what we expect from a member of Redrum Inc, please take some time to answer them seriously as they are the most important part of your application.

Talents: Explain why you're using the spec that you are, what specs you've tried, and why you came to the conclusion that this spec suits you the best.

As a priest ive tried all 3 main trees within raids, shadow disc and holy, i actually started as a holy priest in ulduar but with the way raid healing works ive found i can do more overall raid healing as disc (through absorbs etc) and i like the versatility of all the priest spells.

the reason for me choosing disc over holy and shadow is the fact that the healing way is very unique. and it also has the versatility to switch to PoH and spam heal if ever needed , but the mana return is also a very good aspect of it as i foudn with holy (might have been a gear thing) that after some hardcore spamming to keep the raid off it would nuke my mana.

with regards to the actual talents i talk to alot of other priests and i read EJ a fair bit on all 3 chars i raid on for more information , the spec i have seems to be fairly cookie cutter for jack of all trades type healing in raids.

Gear: Talk a bit about the gear you currently have, what makes it good in your eyes, how could you improve it outside of raiding?

Ok Gear wise, within the bosses ive killed on my priest i feel that probably my bracers and any gear thats 251 could be upgraded eventually with ICC10 HMs . but the main problem i have with my gear is my bracers due to them being pvp and given the option would upgrade them soon, ive already crafted the boots for myself and the legs i have could possibly be upgraded by the crafted ones, just need more frost bades for that really. as i always do the weekly and dailys on my chars too.

UI: Upload a screenshot of your current UI in a raiding environment and place a link to it below (tips for hosting sites: http://Photobucket.com/ / http://www.wowimages.net/ / http://imageshack.us/

Currently writing my app while im at work so will update this when i get home, but its nothing special , currently i use the Blizzard UI with the blizzard raid bars pulled out instead of xperl, i have DBM , omen and recount (skada too for the absorb info) and i have all the secondry bars turned on for more icons around the screen

Tell us what you expect from the items you wear (the stats you favor, those you try to avoid):

The items i currently wear i try to keep as close as i can to the 11% haste cap of discs then as much SP and crit as i can get spirit is helpful but not important and i would rather have an item that had Stam int SP haste crit on it than spirit instead of haste.

Guild: Why do you want to join Redrum Inc, what type of guild are you looking for, and what do you look for in a guild?

The reason i want to join Redrum Inc is to experience 25man HMs within ICC and to experience an end game raiding guild. aswell as raid with Rokugatsu , the type of guild im looking for is a 25 man raiding guild where all the members take the raid seriously and dont slack during boss attempts and the raid in general.

Parses / Logs: Can you provide any links to World Of Logs / Wow Web Stats / Wow Meters Online log parses featuring yourself performing in a raid? Being able to provide such information can greatly increase your chance of success and speed up the application process. If you are looking for how to record logs yourself >> try this <<

Sorry our guild currently doesnt use any of these so that wont be possible, however rokugatsu i feel can vouch for me.

Personal: What do you think are your biggest strengths and weaknesses when it comes to raiding?

My biggest strengths in raiding would be that i understand the mechanics of the game quite well as a whole and that ive played every aspect within raiding - Tanking, melee, ranged and healing.(both tank healing and raid healing). also i pick up on boss abilities very quickly and i feel i can explain them quite well too , as im currently one of the main raid leaders in my guild and have been since vanilla.

not too sure about my biggest weakness probably tend to flip out at people continuesly screwing up , youll have to ask rokugatsu if you want a proper bit of info on that :>

How well do you take criticism in a new encounter and how do you handle it?

criticism on new encounters is part of learning the new encounter, one tiny thing thats done wrong can cause a wipe, and if its me screwing up or doing things wrong i would want to know about it.

WoW: What are your goals in WoW, what do you want to achieve and how long do you plan to keep playing?

Well as ive been playing since vanilla ill probably play past cataclysm and onwards to the new mmo they are making i guess. my goal in wow currently is to see, experience and complete all of the current/up and coming content.

Any information you would like to add?

i think ive covered the majority of information i need to but any other questions you guys have feel free to ask and ill answer

P.s For your amusement here is a link to the application i thought was you guys after being given a dodgy link by rokugatsu, took me an hour and 3 attempts to write this app as the website crashed twice when i was submitting it >.< its got a bit more info about me too

Great player, good friend and gives everything his all - huge vouch from me

Also, he'll give you rides on his fatman scooter if you accept him :p

wtb holy priest plox

[Nomadras]

Looks pretty fine imo (I don't know much bout priests so don't rely on my opinion at all tbh), you've got raiding proffessions,
you seem to have good raiding experience as well, there's one think that wonders me tho; your priest's /played, it pretty much describes your class experience and personal preformance, but well, that's why the trial rank was invented.

And yeah, what Blu said. We're in need of holy priests atm (got 2 raiding discos), so it's a good thing you gave Hagnuse a choice :>

[healnub]

as far as holy goes shouldnt really be a problem , and my /played is mostly in raids , my shaman was my vanilla / TBC char so most of my played is on that. but when it comes to WotLK its paladin priest shaman experience

[healnub]

hiya, quick update for ya. as soon as i get confirmation about needing to be holy etc i have 140 frost badges saved ready to put together a switch. so just let me know.

thanks

[lilbobbie]

wots with the gear layout, can u pls log on put ur disc gear on and log off, atm i see pvp trinket no t10 and a shadow rep ring + pvp wrists. Atm we have a disc on trial and are mainly looking for a holy priest to fill the gap so we'd probably want you on that condition, but first i'd like to see your gear setup

ur priest has cleared 11/12 10man icc and only gunship hc 10
9/12 25man and only gunship again hc
do you have any experience of lich king fight at all other than watching a vid?

[healnub]

heya, just relogged, i do have the shadow rep ring i mainly use it for pvp. but got no problem switching it round , with regards to T10 im not very lucky with marks so went for 264 equivilent gear instead. and as stated above the pvp bracers are the best ive come across yet. i did have the 245 royal moonshround ones but found the pvp ones to be slightly better.

I do have experience in said fight as i raidlead them on other characters. being my protection paladin bubblefink and my enhancement shaman fink(both kingslayers 10). feel free to check the achievements on those too.

after playing around with my gear a little bit it seems that it wouldnt take much to switch to holy with the current gear, just need to get my hands on the T10 legs , already have replacement boots and the circle of ossiris that would switch out giving me more favourable stats towards holy, but i still need to finalise this a bit before i can confirm. Ive also switched around the rep ring to healing and got it gemmed ready for holy aswell.

any other info you require please ask.

p.s. it does seem that the armory is taking a while to update the changes, the last time it updated was the 6th of july

thanks

[Nakimi]

Any friend of Roku is a friend of mine, nice app btw

[lilbobbie]

the 2 set is good for holy but I wudn't both with 4set as you'll quickly pick up some 277 offset items and it would be nicer to avoid the crit parts. thanks for the quick response and offered changes. what trinkets will you be using for holy or disc. the pvp one and the ice crystal are pretty much useless for either spec so im guessing its for a pvp option. stack plenty haste and spirit and u'll be set for holy for now.
vouch for trial, lets see what you've got.

[healnub]

pretty annoying that armory isnt updating still. the healing trinkets i have are the 60 frost badge trinket and the normal version of the sliver of pure ice (SP with mana use) as its the best ones ive come across so far , also with the 264 pieces i have at the moment , compared to the Tier gear they are pretty identical anyway,

on the armory at the moment, the legs im using ive now gemmed and enchanted towards disc and now sat at 390 haste as disc (was using kilt of untreated wounds). and when i get another couple frost badges ill go for T10 legs (providing i dont get lucky in VOA first), and once thats gemmed and enchanted id worked it out to have around 3.2k sp and around 750 haste with a fairly decent amount of spirit/regen for my holy set. later on i could change the gloves im currently using for the T10 gloves as theres not a great deal of difference (more spirit 1 less socket slightly more haste slighty less sp) but would give me the 2 set bonus aswell, but thatll come in time

[Bluewolf]

Hi and thanks for the application we have decided .....

you will have an answer before raids rest Wed Sorry for the wait.

[lilbobbie]

ah good good, i use the same trinkets is a nice combo for disc especially, and forget voa jsut buy the legs enchant them, tokens drop all over u'll have 4 in 1 reset most likely

[healnub]

Haha , thanks bluewolf , the suspense is killing me lol xD

yeah ill see what i can do, thanks lilbobbie. also cheers to theonus for the info when i was thinking of applying
